Star Wars is an epic space opera
franchise initially conceived by
George Lucas during the 1970s and
significantly expanded since that
time. The first film in the
franchise was simply titled Star
Wars, but later had the subtitle
Episode IV: A New Hope added to
distinguish it from its sequels and
prequels. Star Wars was released on
May 25, 1977 by 20th Century Fox,
and became a worldwide pop culture
phenomenon, initially spawning two
sequels. Twenty-two years after
Star Wars was released, Lucas began
the release of a second trilogy as
a prequel to the original trilogy.

This is quite a famous piece. It
came to be known as the
White/Struzan piece (both artists
worked on it)and as the Circus
Poster.

This particular piece was not only
George's favorite piece of art but
also became infamous as it was
lost, disappeared for 30 years.
Found at last Drew and Charlie gave
it to George as a gift of
friendship.
